Beer Gardens

Cost: How many do you want to drink?

Why: I have been to some lovely beer gardens around the Inner West. There are still some I need to visit but a few favorites would have to be… The Henson, Courthouse Hotel, Sauce Brewing Company and the Iron Duke Hotel. Great way to take in the sunshine with your favorite beer.

Bay Walk

Cost: Just your transport fees or/ and a coffee

Essentials: Headphones// Comfy Footwear// Water //

Why: The Bay Walk is a 7KM look around the Bay in Haberfield. It’s got lovely views of the city and boats resting on the Bay. There is a cafe by the UTS club if you fancy a coffee. There is also toilets and a playground on the loop. I have done it for exercise and had a stroll and a catch up with girlfriends on this walk. I like to do it Saturday morning get the weekend off to a fresh start.
